I– Integrity New Programs and Centers: During 2016, a number of new programs and Centers were formally established at SPH to enable researchers with similar interests to coalesce research interests, expertise, and projects. The Program for the Environment and Sustainability was approved in Fall 2016; the Program is E- Excellence: In under the direction of Dr. Virender Sharma and Dr. Tony Rene’. Located in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health, the program’s mission is to become a leader in the interaction of the environment, teaching, sustainability and population health in the state of Texas, nationally and internationally. The Center for research, service, Population Health and Aging was approved by the Texas A&M Board of Regents in Fall 2016. Under the and practice direction of Dr. Marcia Ory, the Center evolved from the long-standing Program on Healthy Aging to Center status. The Center focuses on identification of social, behavioral, and environmental determinants of health in older populations in order to promote successful aging throughout the life course.

3 Research Enhancement & Development Initiative

The Texas A&M School of Public Health strives to support faculty in their research activities, including assistance in the development of new extramurally supported investigator-initiated research. The Delta Omega Research Enhancement and Development Initiative (REDI) program provides small pilot funding awards to SPH investigators in support of innovative, novel, and interdisciplinary ideas with a high probability of leading to significant external funding. 2016 Award Grantees

Bernard Appiah, DrPH, MDC, Leslie Cizmas, PhD MS, BPharm Assistant Professor Assistant Professor Environmental & Public Health Studies Occupational Health Identifying culturally relevant Impact of nanoparticles on the interventions to increase formation and toxicity of medication adherence among disinfection byproducts during adults with diabetes or water chlorination hypertension

Darcy McMaughan, PhD Xiaohui Xu, PhD Assistant Professor Associate Professor Health Policy & Management Epidemiology & Biostatistics Resident, site, and care Interaction between genes and coordination characteristics in air pollution in relation to unlicensed board and care cardiometabolic risk in US homes: A pilot study in population Houston, TX

4 Bernard Appiah, DrPH, MDC, MS, BPharm Identifying culturally relevant interventions to increase medication adherence among adults with diabetes or hypertension This project uses secondary data analysis to quantitatively assess non-adherence to anti-diabetic and anti-hypertensive medications among patients in up to nine counties in Texas. Also, through use of interviews of patients with diabetes or hypertension, their caregivers and clinicians, we identify factors that can facilitate the design and implementation of culturally relevant evidence-based interventions for promoting medication adherence among adults with diabetes or hypertension. To the best of our knowledge, the study is the first to identify culturally relevant beliefs, knowledge and attitudes that can facilitate the design of medication adherence interventions for uninsured and insured patients from socio-ecological perspectives of the patients, their caregivers and clinicians. It identifies the extent of medication non-adherence in patients with diabetes or hypertension, generate pilot data to help guide the design of culturally relevant interventions for medication adherence, and create interdisciplinary partnerships for writing grant proposals to test the efficacy of culturally relevant interventions for promoting medication management in African American populations.

Leslie Cizmas, PhD Impact of Nanoparticles on the Formation and Toxicity of Disinfection Byproducts during Water Chlorination This project systematically investigates the impact of nanoparticles (NPs) on the formation and toxicity of drinking water disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water supplies. Various types of NPs are being used in a number of consumer and industrial products, which ultimately enter into water systems and may greatly influence the formation of DBPs. Research examining the influence of NPs on DBP formation and toxicity is critically needed. Aims include chlorinating water samples containing TiO2 NPs, ZnO NPs or Ag NPs, characterizing the NPs after chlorination, chemically analyzing production of trihalomethane and haloacetic acid DBPs, and assessing the toxicity of the DBPs produced in the presence of TiO2, NPs, ZnO NPs or Ag NPs. Data showing increased DBP toxicity will provide justification for further research into the mechanisms of NP-promoted DBP formation.

Alva Ferdinand, DrPH, JD Examining the Impact of Gun Control Laws on Firearm-Related Morbidity and Mortality This project examines changes in the prevalence of firearm deaths before and after the effective dates of gun control measures relative to contemporaneous changes in firearm deaths in states without such laws. It examines changes in the prevalence of non-fatal firearm injuries before and after the effective dates of gun control measures relative to contemporaneous changes in non-fatal firearm injuries in states without such laws. This work utilizes econometric methods to analyze gun control measures and will use multiple approaches to strengthen its internal validity. The use of clinical secondary data from several states over a seven-year period will serve to provide a more robust understanding of the effect of gun control measures on firearm-related morbidity and mortality. It uses a panel study design (data from 2008 –2014) and a difference-in-difference methodology to assess the relationship between the presence of various gun control laws and firearm -related fatalities and hospitalizations across seven states.

Gang Han, PhD Improved survival analysis in personalized cancer therapy trials The current discovery of new molecular information (e.g., next generation sequencing) is making the personalized cancer therapy increasingly feasible, leading to more effective treatment and diagnosis of cancer. However, the accrual of patients having a specific genomic subtype (e.g., EGFR mutation positive) can be an impeding and difficult progress. The existing statistical analysis for cancer survival is primarily based on nonparametric methods such as Kaplan-Meier estimate and log-rank test that are statistically less efficient than properly used parametric methods, where the loss of efficiency is close to throwing one third of the patients away. This project uses a statistical framework to reasonably utilize the most mathematically tractable survival model, the exponential model, in the design and analysis of clinical trials with time-to-event endpoints. Compared with existing methods, this approach has the potential to save up to 40% of the sample size without compromising the statistical power. In addition to developing the statistical theory, researchers apply the proposed method in a randomized Phase II breast cancer trial (NCI protocol number 8457).

Darcy McMaughan, PhD Resident, site, and care coordination characteristics in unlicensed board and care homes: A pilot study in Houston, Texas This study addresses the important topic of how residents come to access care in unlicensed board-and-care facilities (UB&C), and the quality and type of care they receive, focusing on describing the UB&C facilities, UB&C residents, and HCBS coordination in Houston, Texas through a collaboration between the TAMU Department of Health Policy and Management, the TAMU Department of Educational Psychology, and the Houston Police Department Mental Health Division. This study focuses on creating evidence around four areas of interest associated with UB&C, using Houston, Texas as a pilot site: 1) UB&C facilities, 2) UB&C residents, 3) care provided in UB&C, and 4) public and private agencies and institutions involved in placing residents in UB&C. This study builds a profile of the characteristics of UB&C, the care provided in the facilities, and the public and private organizations involved in placing people in UB&C.

Xiaohui Xu, PhD Interaction between Genes and Air Pollution in Relation to Cardiometabolic Risk in US Population This study examines the interaction between selected genes and air pollution in relation with inflammation and cardiometabolic biomarkers. The project provides a cost-effective way to investigate this important research question by utilizing existing confidential datasets and will address the knowledge gaps regarding the potential interaction between genes and air pollution. The findings will provide insights regarding the biological mechanisms underlying adverse effects of air pollution on cardiovascular diseases. This project provides valuable preliminary data for developing fine epidemiological studies and individual-based intervention studies in the future to mitigate the air pollution-associated cardiovascular risk.
